‘During a summer internship at Cowin Capital, a venture capital firm specializing in technology, media, and telecommunications (TMT) in emerging markets, I gained hands-on experience in startup pitching, pre-IPO investments, and deal execution, notably contributing to a CNY 100 million investment in a cross-border e-commerce company valued at CNY 1.8 billion.
Technical Skills: I honed advanced financial modeling, valuation, and data analysis skills.
Soft Skills: Effective communication was critical, as I simplified complex ideas in investment memos and presentations for diverse audiences.
Investment Analysis: I contributed to the valuation and risk assessment of the e-commerce target firm.
The GLEF program provided a strong foundation, with courses like FINA3070 enhancing my valuation knowledge and CV guidance boosting my application.
This internship bridged theoretical finance with practical application, equipping me with a robust skill set for a career in venture capital.’
